My word, that Katie Taylor entrance. Outstanding. Not ashamed to admit my eyes are watery

If anyone has some spare cash and fancies doing a good deed, my sister’s cat had an unfortunate and expensive encounter with a dog www.gofundme.com/f/help-save-...

Because I think the Proms are so much more than one thing, here is my very favourite Proms performance. I would never have listened to sax before and this absolutely changed my mind. There must be a thousand contenders, all according to our varied tastes. #TheProms youtu.be/BARAHLk-8dk?...

Shoutout to Boghopper Races and their amazing marshals for a lovely little 10k (ish) event. Not so sure about the Norfolk mountains though - three times my usual ascent in a third of the distance 🤪 😮💨 #running
For anyone in East Anglia that’s been lulled into a false sense of security with the temperature drop - it is still quite toasty to run in 🥵
Water is falling from the sky! This is not a drill. At least four neighbours also went outside to verify - slightly strange being stood in the garden at nearly midnight all in your PJs. And one of our cats is hanging her head out the window trying to catch a few drops - she doesn’t even like rain
That moment when it’s time to be the bad guy and interrupt a happy Caturday by administering the eye drops 😮💨 Purring kitty curled up on my chest has now left a trail of fire in her wake as she bolted away. Second purring kitty is looking at me nervously as if I might be about to attack her too
I used to think women victim blaming other women was ‘just’ internalised misogyny. I’ve had a revelation today due to an unrelated tragedy that it’s at least partly a form of self-reassurance. Deeming the ‘cause’ to be something that doesn’t apply to you, therefore the tragedy won’t happen to you.
Today I unlocked 3 running achievements: 1. I survived being repeatedly dive bombed by a very angry tern. 2. I didn’t throw up at the awful stench of blue green algae 3. I didn’t hit the deck when I tripped on the very long grass cuttings Subtext: it was an awful ‘run’ (more walk because of no 3)
One of the cats is missing and her sister has become super clingy. Having a cat constantly touching you for reassurance in this heatwave is heartbreakingly hot.
@tomgaymor.bsky.social When is the actual race start today please Tom? Is it 5:45pm (weather permitting)? And assume Sky Sports Mix at that point?
happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time
cw: Obligatory proud daughter & sister post Here’s my mum at the end of her first marathon. She’s 74, 5”1 (and a half!), blind and partially deaf. She did the last 7 miles bent sideways as her back went. Massive shoutout to the volunteer that helped them to the end! www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...
The rain is so heavy outside it sounds like it’s about to break through the window. I’m preparing for the possibility appropriately by burrowing further under the duvet.
I love the impromptu community that forms around the Barkley Marathons. Thanks to @keithdunn.bsky.social especially for having us all on the refresh button. Although one of the cats has fallen asleep waiting for them to come through Loop 1 #BM100 #kittykontent
After that The Shepherd’s Farewell might be going to the top of the list - sublime! #9LC
Couldn’t get to sleep so #TheAshes it is. Come on then gentlemen, make my sleep deprivation and late night ironing session worth it
Huh, at least I can have a lie in tomorrow. Well done to Travis Head - everybody else, take notes. #TheAshes
I’m pleased that it’s a slightly slower start today - I need to caffeinate before anything too dramatic happens #TheAshes
1st sip of 1st cup of tea - wicket 2nd sip of 2nd cup of tea - wicket Does this mean I need to give up tea?! #TheAshes
Darn - was hoping I’d manage a cup of tea before we lost a wicket #ashes
Been meaning to save some things before deleting my old Larry bird app. Seeing that salute, I’ve simply deactivated & removed it. In the midst of the darkness, I cling to hope. There is more than a little good in this world. It is worth fighting for. One day the sun will shine out the clearer.
